Luis Enrigue selected 19 players for packing against Atalanta Bergame in the Champions League, despite notable absences such as Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué. However, the situation improved with the return of Khvicha Kvarts and Lee Kang-in, who were injured in the game against RC Lens. Lucas Beraldo’s absence is added to the list of players not available. This composition reflects Enrigue’s ability to cope with physical challenges and his desire to maintain a competitive workforce for this crucial meeting. The list of 19 players includes names such as Hakimi, Marquinhos, Zaire-Emery, and Barcola, highlighting the depth of the Parisian team.

Ivan Juric, the coach of Atalanta Bergame, expressed his admiration for Luis Enrigue’s work and the quality of Paris Saint-Germain. He acknowledged the small number of weaknesses in the MTP, while stressing the importance of an impeccable defence to hope to win. Juric describes Enrigue as an innovative coach who introduced an innovative and appreciated style of play. This recognition reflects the respect for Enrigue’s work in European football and the serious preparation of Atalanta to face an opponent of this calibre.

In a lighter spirit, Ousmane Dembélé joked about the team’s role as “happiness bearer” in reference to the previous season. This remark, shared on social networks, comes as the PSG and the Olympique de Marseille meet soon. Dembélé’s humour highlights the cohesion and good atmosphere within the team, while stressing the importance of victory in the competition. This relaxed attitude contrasts with the gravity of the stakes of the Champions League, but reflects the confidence and determination of the Parisian players.
